Login Screen Footer Location Question

Greetings!I have a question regarding an edit I need to make to our Livelink 9.2 SP1 system. I want to change the contact link that appears in the lower right of the login screen. (See attached image to see exactly what I am referring to.)Would someone please tell me where this resides? I looked thru the various files in the html folder on our server and I'll be darned if I can see which one it is hiding on. Thank you in advance for your comments. I love these discussion forums.

It could very well be
<LLinstallpath>/module/webnode/html/Footercomponent.html
I am talking from my recent tweak on 9.5 from 91sp3
for a likewise thing I did not go 9.2 .The mailaddress can easily be changed thru ?func=admin.sysvars
if all you need to change is the email id.
Have a chat with Howard Pell or Donna Nalls if changing the file could hurt something.I make notes whenever I change something.

Thanks Much

Krishnankutty,

You are too kind to mention my name here. Now I *must* reply ;-)

Susan

In V9.2 you will find the mailto anchor tag in <Installpath>/html/menufoot.html on line 43, 44 and 45.

;if IsDefined( adminMailAddress ) && ( Length( adminMailAddress ) > 0 )
`[WebDsp_HTMLLabel.ForAssistancePleaseContactThe]` <A HREF="`[WebDsp_HTMLLabel.Administrator]`mailto:`adminMailAddress`">`[WebDsp_HTMLLabel.Administrator]`</A>.
;end

Where is the adminMailAddress actually set? On the administration pages, go to the Server Configuration section and select Configure Server Parameters and then populate the Administrator Email Address. Where is the WebDsp_HTMLLabel.Administrator variable set? This is done in the Builder in the XDB files, too detailed to go into here in this email.

So - you can change the email address on the Administration pages and you can change the text in the menufoot.html page.

As always - make backups of any files you change and then document your changes.

I hope this helps.

Howard

Message from Joe Lesh via eLinkSusan-In llroot/html/llglogin.html you'll find the html ;String adminMailAddress = preferences.GetPrefGeneral( 'AdminMailAddress' ) ;;call <.HTMLPrefix() + "menufoot.html">( FALSE, TRUE, adminMailAddress ) You can change the value of the adminMailAddress variable in that html file and it will change the value of the link.Alternatively, you could edit llroot/html/menufoot.html Keep in mind that editing the menufoot.html will change the footer for every user page in your Livelink system.Here is the section of that file that generates the link: ;if ( IsDefined( adminMailAddress ) )

;if IsDefined( adminMailAddress ) && ( Length( adminMailAddress ) > 0 ) `[WebDsp_HTMLLabel.ForAssistancePleaseContactThe]` `[WebDsp_HTMLLabel.Administrator]`. ;end

Susan,several other people have already indicated solutions to your question, but I would suggest that you take a look at Hans Stoop's wonderful CustomizationsRT module if you intend to apply custom changes to your servers, this module allows you to manage them in a simple and easy manner.
